turmeric milk

i have been sick (again. surprise surprise) and managed to do absolutely nothing the entire weekend except for catch up on ALL the new junk recently added to netflix. in my quest for a miracle cure to save me from the hell that is being bedridden, i stumbled upon what might actually be just that. and my goodness does it taste DELICIOUS!

in eastern cultures, turmeric is well regarded as a 'healing spice' and used
to help everything from sore throats, colds, flus, and stomachaches to
wound healing and treatment of abrasions and skin issues. turmeric milk is high in
antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and is high in manganese and iron. the coconut oil adds healthy fats and inclusion of peppercorns enhance the absorption
of curcumin (the main component found in turmeric) allowing the ingredients in
this recipe work in a synergistic fashion and help enhance the
nutritional value of each other.

all this being said, this drink is just so incredibly comforting. it warms you from the inside out and feels like its coating all your sore parts as it moves its way around. this would be the perfect beverage to calm you before bed or help heal you when you aren't 100%.

:: directions ::
pour all
ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil. whisk to
combine. reduce heat to low and simmer for up to 10 minutes. strain the milk if you have large pieces of ginger, cinnamon, or peppercorns. serve hot topped with an additional dash of cinnamon. soak in allllll it's goodness!
